Winter In The Fields!

This winter has really curtailed our field hunts, cold, snow and when the weather did warm a bit…rain…lots of rain! We have been able to get out a few times and have had some modest success. Last hunt of the year produced three Indian Heads, two by Diane and one for me. I then got a nice 1918 Mercury dime. Diane also found a nice clay marble. My next two hunts were solo hunts, I went to the field where I got the Mercury and I got some relics and two coins a1944 wheat and a 1868 Indian Head! My next hunt I checked out conditions at the old Mystery field I got a buckle there but most of it was too muddy to hunt. I then went back to the field where I got the 1868 Indian and two minutes into the hunt I got a 1912 wheat cent then some relics including a bent spoon. I was just about ready to leave when I got a nice Indian signal and it turned out to be a 1898. I finished my line and turned to walk back to the car I was nearly there when I spied a green disc on top of the ground…a 1929 wheat….three more steps and there was another…this time a 1905 Indian…hey when your good they just surrender!

Nice post Tony. At least you're digging! I'm still locked down and frozen solid here in northern VT (UGH!). Love all the finds, and congrats on the '68 IH.

Nice finds, Tony! I love the 1868 Indian Head and the old compass! It must be thrilling to see the coins laying on top of the ground like that. We are thawed here but very muddy as well.

:congrats:
 
A bunch of great finds Tony. Glad to see you can get out and do some swinging!
That compass piece is very cool. Congrats
 
I have been detecting a muddy field, so much so that I have to really plan my walking so as not to get trapped. Nice finds Tony.
